Lancaster Vets4Pets

Hello! I graduated in 2014 in Bucharest, Romania. After graduation I found a big attraction for Soft Tissue Surgery and since 2015, I started to study in depth Reconstructive surgery and Wound Management, this being my main area of interest. I have been to many veterinary surgical events in Europe. I also wrote articles and I was involved in podcasts presenting different aspects about wound management. Also, I am an OCQ(V), I acquired the degree last year. I have been working in the UK since June 2018 and I joined Vets4Pets Lancaster in December 2021 as a Lead Vet.

Hi everyone! I’m Valeria and I graduated from the University of Turin, in Italy, in 2020. I joined the Vets4Pets family in September 2021 as a veterinary surgeon and I am super enthusiastic about being able to improve animals’ welfare. Being a vet has always been my dream and on top of enjoying every aspect of medicine, I also love how sweet and funny pets can be.
In my spare time you can find me playing with and cuddling my ginger cat, Diego. I also love travelling (I know what you are thinking, who doesn’t?), going to the movies and spending time with family and friends.

Outside of work, I love singing, camping and spending time with my family and friends.
Look forward to meeting you all, Tuba.

After 40 years in a caring profession looking after people, I needed a change. I was delighted to be appointed to my role at Vets4Pets Lancaster.

I love meeting new people and even more when they have their pets with them so this is a great job for me and I look forward to greeting you all to the practice.

I have worked for Vets4Pets for around ten years now, originally recruited to open the Lytham practice. Since then I have worked in various practices both in England and Scotland front of house. The practice with the most diverse range of patients was Drumchapel in Glasgow where we tended to a huge snowy owl for a beak trim, an Iguana for removal of an abscess and George the pig who would come in store and eat whatever he could from the shelves.

This practice in Lancaster is by far the largest and busiest of all practices I have worked in, and I am looking forward to my role of Practice Administrator and getting to know everyone and the surrounding area of Lancaster.

Hi! My name is Sara, I joined the Vets4Pets team at Lancaster in November 2022 as a Client Care Co-ordinator. For as long as I can remember I have been obsessed with animals, I have always had a pet by my side. After finishing school I knew I wanted to do something with animals, I went on to complete my level 3 Animal Management at college. At home I have my baby Socks, he is an American Bulldog, he is a gentle giant and loves nothing more than a cuddle in our bed! His best trick is roll over and his favourite place is the river. I also have two cats Salt and Pepper, they are very cheeky brothers and after a long day climbing their cat tree and playing, they also cuddle up. My love and passion for animals has brought me to work here at the practice, I look forward to caring for your pets and you when you visit us!
